Platform for creating and using actionable non-fungible tokens (KNFT)

Abstract

A distributed computing platform and method for creating actionable digital assets and tokens incorporating influence and outreach (“KNFT”). A KNFT application server may be configured to receive, over a distributed computing network from a remote computing node, a request for a new non-fungible token wherein the KNFT comprises a unique KNFT identifier, at least one metadata element, and least one social vector. A blockchain proxy server may be operatively connected to the KNFT application server and to a distributed blockchain ledger. Social actions may comprise user comment, connection, direct message, like, or favorable rating, and a change in ownership of the KNFT may be written to the social vector by a KNFT API. The social vector may comprise social vector data from at least one prior owner, and the KNFT may further comprise a circulation trail vector that incorporates the ownership history of the KNFT.

We claim: 
     
       1. A distributed computing platform for creating actional digital assets and tokens incorporating influence and outreach, comprising:
 a KNFT application server configured to receive, over a distributed computing network from a remote computing node, a request for a new non-fungible token (“KNFT”) wherein the KNFT comprises a unique KNFT identifier, a count of number of circulations of the KNFT at least one metadata element, and at least one social vector; 
 a blockchain proxy server operatively connected to the KNFT application server and to a distributed blockchain ledger, the blockchain proxy server configured to: (a) record the unique KNFT identifier on a new transaction block with the distributed blockchain ledger; (b) receive a blockchain address and verification that the new transaction block has been recorded; and (c) monitor the blockchain and, for any transaction on the blockchain matching the blockchain address, read a transaction metadata element from the transaction data; and 
 a KNFT API server operatively connected to the KNFT application server, the KNFT API server being programmed to: 
 (a) write the KNFT identifier to a KNFT index; 
 (b) receive a blockchain address from the blockchain proxy server identifying the new KNFT the blockchain proxy server to record, on a new transaction block with the distributed block; 
 (c) store, on a data store comprising physical, non-transient, electronic storage media, at least one metadata component associated with the KNFT, and link the same to the KNFT index; 
 (d) track engagement with the KNFT by scanning at least one public social media feed for any social action referencing the blockchain address and updating the social vector to reflect the reference. 
 
     
     
       2. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the social action comprises any of a: user comment, connection, direct message, like, or favorable rating. 
     
     
       3. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein a change in ownership of the KNFT is written to the social vector by the KNFT API. 
     
     
       4. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the social vector comprises social vector data from at least one prior owner. 
     
     
       5. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the KNFT further comprises a circulation trail vector that incorporates the ownership history of the KNFT. 
     
     
       6. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the social vector comprises a metric representing a score and points related to the influence and outreach of the owner. 
     
     
       7. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the data store comprises a cloud storage system. 
     
     
       8. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the data store comprises a peer-to-peer distributed storage system. 
     
     
       9. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the blockchain is interoperable with any of the Stellar, Ethereum, Loom, POA, or Kaleido networks. 
     
     
       10. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the KNFT metadata element is one of: token template, name, type, layout, action type, media, color, pattern, batch size, and delivery effect. 
     
     
       11. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the ownership of a KNFT may be shared amongst a number of users, each user having a corresponding voting right to take actions on the KNFT. 
     
     
       12. The distributed computing platform of  claim 1  wherein the KNFT further comprises a DNS and ENS reference to an internet domain, enabling the holder to access the DNS and ENS settings for the domain. 
     
     
       13. A method for creating actional digital assets and tokens incorporating influence and outreach, comprising:
 employing a KNFT application server to receive, over a distributed computing network from a remote computing node, a request for a new non-fungible token (“KNFT”) wherein the KNFT comprises a unique KNFT identifier, a count of number of circulations of the KNFT, at least one metadata element, and at least one social vector; 
 employing a blockchain proxy server operatively connected to the KNFT application server and to a distributed blockchain ledger, the blockchain proxy server configured to: (a) record the unique KNFT identifier on a new transaction block with the distributed blockchain ledger; (b) receive a blockchain address and verification that the new transaction block has been recorded; and (c) monitor the blockchain and, for any transaction on the blockchain matching the blockchain address, read a transaction metadata element from the transaction data; and 
 employing a KNFT API server operatively connected to the KNFT application server, the KNFT API server being programmed to: 
 (a) write the KNFT identifier to a KNFT index; 
 (b) receive a blockchain address from the blockchain proxy server identifying the new KNFT the blockchain proxy server to record, on a new transaction block with the distributed block; 
 (c) store, on a data store comprising physical, non-transient, electronic storage media, at least one metadata component associated with the KNFT, and link the same to the KNFT index; 
 (d) track engagement with the KNFT by scanning at least one public social media feed for any social action referencing the blockchain address and updating the social vector to reflect the reference. 
 
     
     
       14. The method of  claim 13  wherein the social action comprises any of: user comment, connection, direct message, like, or favorable rating. 
     
     
       15. The method of  claim 13  wherein a change in ownership of the KNFT is written to the social vector by the KNFT API.
